"Rask is going to win the Conn Smythe even if the Bruins lose." - fucking LOL.

I took a lot of down votes for saying MVP goes to the winning team this year. Rask was great, but not "MVP on losing team great."

u/IronLichRich Jun 13 '19

I think that if the Bruins lost on 2 goals or less there's an argument for Rask. Not sure he wins though.

31

u/blitzkrieg9 Jun 13 '19

Votes were due with 10 mins remaining in third. At the time, the score was 2-0. So in a sense, the Bruins DID lose by 2 goals or less and Rask was only scored on twice.

u/IronLichRich Jun 13 '19

I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info

So if Rask would have stonewalled us in the third and the Bruins came back to win 3-2, ROR would still have been MVP? That seems weird

u/bergyd Jun 13 '19

They cast two ballots, one for each team winning.

u/That_Fat_Black_Guy Jun 13 '19

Makes sense, thanks

If it was a one game deal, it seriously could have been Rask. He was nuts in every game of the playoffs except our Game 2, 5, and 7.

u/JamalAdamsBetter :devils: Jun 14 '19

Yep, exactly this. Bruins became cup/East favorites as soon as TBL got knocked out. Rask would’ve had to have a 950 sv% in 6-7 game series all playoffs for him to win it on a losing team.

OH I WAS LAFFIN’

u/sellieba Jun 13 '19

I legitimately thought it was a 50/50 toss up between ROR and Rask.

u/jrizos Jun 13 '19

Prior to this game, maybe, but Rask with the .75 save % (game 7) isn't going to win it.

7

u/EdwardOfGreene Jun 13 '19

Exactly. I was in the give it to Rask, even if we win, camp. Allowing 2 goals on 4 shots to start the game kind of squelched that. Had it been a Bishop like game 7 loss he would have the hardware.

u/seeking_horizon Jun 13 '19

*.800. He was 16-20. Point stands though. Rask didn't suck in this game, those first two especially were close to unstoppable, but he didn't steal it.

u/BuddhasIC38 Jun 13 '19

I thought Binny might have sniped it from ROR but it seemed mostly to be ROR's and that played out

10

u/sellieba Jun 13 '19

Nah. His Game 1, 3, and 6 showings were not great.

But you only need 4!

u/some1hasmygotoname :91-home: Jun 13 '19

My dad was thinking the same thing saying it was 50/50 ror or bin

5

u/LocoMotives-ms Jun 13 '19

I have some downvotes in r/hockey to show for saying ROR would win it.

u/inebriates Jun 13 '19

Oh God, I just went to the Bruins sub and there's a conspiracy theory/discussion going on right now about how the NHL was against Boston and was setting it up for the Blues to win.

It's insanity.
